Number One Game Designer

Chapter 315: Satoshi Kimijima's Nirvana

The launch of the old and new machines is scheduled for the first weekend of September.

And this day was extremely long for Satoshi Junshima.

After giving a speech to the whole company at 8 o'clock in the morning, Satoshi Junshima locked himself in the office and sorted and reviewed all the game information over the past period of time. And took a stack of manuscript paper to deduce the countermeasures in all situations.

On the thick stack of manuscript paper, you can see Satoshi Junshima drew a large table. From top to bottom on the left is the sales volume of the new home machine, and then there are several grids across each sales volume for writing notes and ideas. .

At the top of the line is "Sales less than 100,000", and the countermeasures at the back are simply "Resign, jump off the building."

Then every time sales increase by one million, an idea will be deduced later.

At the bottom of the form is written "sales of more than 5 million", and the countermeasures at the back are only two simple words: "Celebration".

Relatively speaking, because the sales of the console are physical and there are price factors, compared with the sales of electronic games, Hongyi can not watch at all, but the profits are not large. But this is probably the difference between the real economy and the virtual economy.

In short, in the history of consoles, a new console with two million units in the first week is above the standard, and three million represents consumers' approval of this console. Five million is a precursor to a big hit.

All the affairs of Satoshi Junshima's staff have been arranged, and the various plans for the first day have also been prepared in advance, which is why Satoshi Junjima can sit in the office without showing up. He plans to stay here all day until he gets off work to see the statistics.

It took a long time to consider the various possible sales situations, and Satoshi Junjima began to pick up the first game on the home machine on the first day.

Among them, there are only three or two that can be regarded as heavyweight games. Zelda is undoubtedly regarded as one. This game has been on sale for more than four years since the previous game. Many fans are also waiting for the process of getting married, but not Influence them to grab a starter.

The most famous among the third parties is Hongyi. The new rumor of the assassin series will be exclusively on the new console. Besides, all other games of Hongyi will basically land on this platform. It should be able to attract most PCs as well. Fans of Hongyi who have more consumption power on the platform, in exchange recently, Honghu platform may also have a group of players who did not think that PCs are game consoles before.

Cooperating with Hongyi has always been the key work content of Satoshi Junshima in the past few months, because he is optimistic about Fang Xi, Hongyi, and even the PC platform. The first wishful thinking was to bring the host and Hongyi's first 3A assassin online together, but I didn't expect Hongyi not to throw it away at all, so he adjusted it forward for half a month to make Jundao Satoshi's wishful thinking come to nothing.

But then considering that Hongyi had specially produced Assassin Biography for this platform, Satoshi Junjima's mood also calmed down a lot. In the final analysis, it depends on whether the host's concept of using time fragments can be recognized by the players.

The essence of doing these things is that Satoshi Junjima is trying to adjust his nervous mood, but it seems that it does not seem to be of any use. As the afternoon gets closer, Satoshi Junjima is still getting more and more nervous. He took a look at his earliest sorted selection based on sales. As a result, what I saw at a glance was the above items with sales below 100,000:

"Apologize and resign"

"Quietly jumping off the building"

The haze seemed to be heavier again, until after four o'clock, the secretary finally took a report and hurriedly knocked on the door of Satoshi Junshima’s office:

"President, the statistics on NintendoChange are preliminary!"

Satoshi Junshima trembled in his heart. When the last console was released, he hadn't been employed as an veteran, but he also knew that the results of this statistic were usually only available after 8 o'clock. Now I will leave it to him after 4 o'clock. Could it be that, Is the sales volume of this mainframe hopelessly bad?

Suddenly Junjima's heart was in a mess, and his survival instinct could make his mind messy, and for a while, he was filled with various thoughts.

Until I was grabbed by the secretary and shook his arm back: "President, as of four o'clock, our NintendoChange has been sold out in some stores! According to incomplete statistics, the sales as of four o'clock have already reached 3.2 million! President! , We succeeded!"

Four o'clock! 3.2 million!

Several figures pulled Satoshi Junjima back from the death line again, the buzzing in his head disappeared, and Satoshi Junjima now felt alive again.

The sales volume is not a secret. Until the first day of sales at 8pm, the sales on the first day completely ended, and the official website of Lao Ren also released the first day's specific data:

NintendoChange sold 4.7 million!

In the accompanying game selection, 52% of players chose Zelda, and 47% of players chose the assassin combination.

No matter how you look at it, Lao Ren's new generation of consoles are worthy of the word "great success", and it has swept away the decline of the Wiiu era and announced the return of the king!

In any case, the IGN and GAME worlds have been busy this evening. Whether it is the evaluation of the console or the evaluation of the new game, they will be busy for a long time.

At the Hongyi headquarters in Beiyang City, Fang Xi hadn't got off work at this time, and he was having fun lying on the sofa holding an old Ren's new machine. Of course, there is no veteran store in Beiyang. This was sent to him directly by Satoshi Junjima before the release. Although I got it long ago, the game was not unlocked until today, so Fang Xi deliberately lost his work today. Lu Wanqi, holding this "large mobile phone" to experience Link's life.

If there is a series of games in history that tend to be perfect, it is probably the Zelda series. It is not a blow. The whole series of Zelda games are relatively not good, but even if it is relative to the overall level. It is said that the mask of Mezzula, whose level has plummeted, is still better than 90% of the same type of games on the market, and it is only a few games that are relative to Zelda.

And this Breath of the Wild and what I have played in the last time and space are only a little bit different in details, but it is harmless. On the whole, this is still a very perfect game. If there are really shortcomings, it is probably limited by Machines and performance, etc., the game map is still a bit small. Standing at the highest point in the game, you can see the boundaries of the world. The so-called villages in the game are actually just a few families together. Even self-sufficiency is problematic, let alone forming a village.

But of course, these are minor faults. They are not a big problem compared to the overall quality of the game. At best, it can be said to be a very fun game, but the fun process is relatively short.

Looking at the sky outside the window, Fang Xi hesitated and dialed the phone of Satoshi Junshima's office.

The call was quickly connected, and the voice of Satoshi Junshima over there was so full of anger that Fang Xi never thought that Satoshi Junjima over there was cautious in front of him half a year ago, and he dared not speak loudly.

"Mr FANG, I have been waiting for your call all night. The success of NintendoChange makes me have to say something to you, thank you!"
